Flying Dog and Jailbreak Brew Together for Ellicott City

By hosting fundraisers and donating proceeds, breweries were some of the most active locals to support Ellicott City following the summer’s floods. Now, a beer is helping the area.

Flying Dog and Jailbreak teamed up on Watershed Moment, a new brew in which 100 percent of the proceeds will go to help Ellicott City. The beer is a Belgian IPA that uses a malt bill from Jaibreak’s Poor Righteous IPA, yeast that is used in Flying Dog’s Raging Bitch and hops from both beers.

It’ll be available in cans for a limited time around Baltimore and Howard County. The can depicts Ellicott City’s clock, which was figured lost in the flood until a kayaker found it a couple days later.

Flying Dog CMO Ben Savage is from Ellicott City, and he said the flooding hit home.

“The beauty of craft beer is being able to be creative, nimble and spring to action for incredible projects like this,” he said.
